Graphics and Display
The Predator Helios Neo 14 AI is equipped with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 or RTX 5060 laptop GPUs, which come with 8 GB of GDDR7 VRAM. However, this might struggle to support gaming on its 14.5-inch 2.8K WQXGA+ (2,880 x 1,800) OLED display that boasts a rapid 0.2 ms response time and full 100% DCI-P3 color coverage. Fortunately, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H/Core Ultra 7 255H processor ensures that you won’t experience CPU limitations.
Configurations and Features
Alternatively, buyers can opt for a WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600) IPS display that features a 165 Hz refresh rate, 400 Nits brightness, 100% sRGB color gamut coverage, and a 3 ms response time. Both configurations of the Predator Helios Neo 14 AI support Nvidia’s Advanced Optimus technology, which allows smooth switching between the integrated GPU and discrete GPU. Acer provides the option to have up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X-7647 RAM and a 2 TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD for storage, with an additional SSD slot available for further expansion.
Additional Specifications and Pricing
Further specifications include a 1080p webcam with an IR sensor, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a 76 Wh battery. In terms of connectivity, it features one Thunderbolt 4.0 port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, an HDMI port, a micro SD card slot, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 AI will be available for purchase starting in July 2025, with a starting price of EUR 1,699 (approximately $1,905).
